“Confidence is the breeding ground for hope. Confidence is
generated by confronting challenges and striving for and achieving meaningful
goals. We can gain confidence by tackling a task we have been putting off,
engaging in a difficult conversation we might have been avoiding, or working on
developing a talent. We should focus on effort and progress rather than
complete success. Confidence is not the certainty of success but rather the
conclusion that failure does not determine our worth—we lose nothing by
trying.”
Vaughn E. Worthen, Associate Director, Counseling and Career
Center, Brigham Young University, “The Healing Balm of Hope,” Ensign, Sept.
2013, 66.
